Lucky’s LoDo location, which opened in February, is the second pizza palace for the Louisville-based company. Like the original spot, Lucky Pie slings Neapolitan-style pizzas and boasts a head-spinning array of beer taps. Can you hear the angels singing yet?

Colorado craft brewers take up a chunk of the tap list, naturally: Oskar Blues, Odell, Ska, Avery and other local stars. Generously, there’s space for outsiders, too, including offerings from West Coast heavy-hitters like Russian River, Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head.

Interestingly, Lucky Pie also includes a small selection of Belgians — not just Belgian-style beers, but actual imports. Sip on Euro-suds like Delirium Tremens, Lucifer Strong Pale Ale and Brouwerij Verhaeghe’s Duchesse du Bourgogne. At $10 a pop, they’re not cheap, but they’re an interesting break from the norm.

All right, so they’ve got lots of beer. Where should you drink one? There’s plenty of space for dining, but Lucky Pie is justifiably proud of its bar and lounge areas.

The bar looks like a rich friend’s custom-made basement. A raised banquette sits opposite the sleek, gently curved bar, almost like a giant couch, with good views of the bar’s flat-screen TVs. Around happy hour-time, these seats become prime real estate.

Closer to the front door, the lounge is populated with stylish black chairs and petite tables. The feel is more “cocktail hour” than “beer bust,” and the smaller tables look better suited to appetizers than whole pizzas. It’s a classy little corner that reinforces Lucky’s equal love for booze and food.

Throughout the room — formerly Dixons restaurant — the décor is up-to-date and fashionable. It’s Denver-standard: Exposed brick, pressed-metal ceiling, silver ventilation ducts, tasteful colors. Huge windows in the dining room look out on Lucky’s patio and Wazee Street; guests could wave at their counterparts hanging at The Kitchen across the street.

Those big windows and the patio bring in another of beer’s best friends: sunshine. Beer, pizza, sunshine — Lucky Pie is on to something here.

THE TIP: Love hoppy beers? Simply look for the cute, green hop nuggets on the beer menu to guide you to the bar’s hop-heaviest brews.
